By Manu Raju | CNNRep. Adam Schiff on Wednesday became the most prominent elected Democrat to publicly call on President Joe Biden to drop out of the race. The announcement by Schiff, who is running for US Senate in California, makes him the first Democrat to urge Biden to step aside since the failed assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump over the weekend. What would Biden’s proposed 5% nationwide rent cap mean for the Bay Area? And in doing so, secure his legacy of leadership by allowing us to defeat Donald Trump in the upcoming election,” Schiff said in a statement. The California Democrat served as an impeachment manager during one of Trump’s impeachments and has been one of the sharpest critics of the former president.
